None

LAHORE -- Police said Friday that about 1,300 suspected militants were arrested in a sweep of hideouts in Pakistan's largest province of Punjab.

 

The roughly two-week operation comes despite the provincial law minister's defense of some groups designated as terrorist organizations and banned by Pakistan but resurrected under new names.
